In contemporary art, the process of appreciating art works requires the dichotomy between traditional art and New Media Art. This difference can be witnessed in the contrasting ways of appreciating art works; in traditional art, a certain physical and esthetic distance is placed between viewers and works of art, and in New Media Art, art is appreciated by active involvement and communication. In other words, this disparity is based on whether viewers physically involve themselves in the completion of the art works. Perhaps contemporary art can be better understood and appreciated if a single primary keyword takes the center place of art appreciation rather than allowing the dichotomy. Thus, a new approach is welcome, where art appreciation is not adversely affected through such divided means based on the degree of active participation. This is not some new introduction of jargon but the reinterpretation of contemplation, the key word for art appreciation in the past, as the common key word for both conventional art and New Media Art.

This study aimed to empirically analyze the effect of the appreciation of artwork in the workplace on creativity. To this end, two virtual workspace images with and without artwork were created, and an online survey was conducted with office workers. A regression analysis was performed on the results to investigate whether and how much the appreciation and recognition of artwork was effective for the creativity. As a result, among the factors of recognition according to the appreciation of artwork, "intellectual development" and "thinking" showed positive effects on the five sub-factors of creativity at work, such as original flexibility, alternative problem-solving skills, pursuit of adventure and freedom, individual independence, and exploratory immersion. Unlike most previous studies, however, "understanding" had a negative effect on original flexibility. In conclusion, it was found that some of the factors of the appreciation and recognition of artwork had a positive effect on creativity at work. This study provides implications that the appreciation of artwork in the workplace is effective for improving creativity at work and that it is important for each company to develop a streamlined approach based on its goal of pursuing a creative environment. In addition, it is expected that this study will contribute to the widespread use of artwork sharing services at workplaces as well as encouraging more empirical studies to be done on the effect of the services.

The study was to improve the right to the enjoyment of culture of persons with visual impairment by increasing the accessibility to art exhibitions and exploring assistive measures through needs assessment survey of persons with visual impairment on arts exhibition. We used total 83 responses collected through an online survey. The result are as follows. First, watching movies at a teather was the most frequent leisure activity among persons with visual impairment, while respondents reported attending art exhibitions as the least frequent activity. Yet, 71.1% included attending art exhibitions as one of their top 5 culture and leisure activities. Most of the respondents reported the purpose of attending art exhibitions as fun. However, a primarily visual atmosphere prevented them from visiting the exhibition. Second, persons with visual impairment preferred approaching the art to have a closer look. More than about 50% of the respondents used their residual vision. Most of the respondents reported to use more than two senses when appreciating the exhibits. Moreover, respondents reported that devices/services for multi-sensory experiences would be helpful to appreciate the art. The findings imply that the consideration of the characteristics and needs of persons with visual impairment is required for establishing the environment of art exhibitions. This could further contribute to the improvement of the right to the enjoyment of leisure and culture of persons with visual impairment and lead to the realization of social integration.

The outcome of the study on 144 elderly people using factor analysis, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis is as follows. First, there was a positive correlation among cultural and artistic experiences, life satisfaction among the elderly, and individual creative traits. Second, experiences in creation and appreciation, subfactors of the cultural and artistic experience, had significant effects on the elderly life satisfaction. Third, creation and appreciation had significant effects on creative traits of individuals. Fourth, individual creative traits showed a partial mediating effect on the relationship between cultural and artistic experiences and elderly life satisfaction. Therefore, it could be concluded that cultural and artistic experiences and individual creative traits have positive effects on elderly life satisfaction, and individual creative traits can be enhanced through cultural and artistic experiences. In addition, it was verified that the enhancement of creative traits through cultural and artistic experiences has a positive effect on elderly life satisfaction.

Unlike in the past, culture and the arts are now being recognized as key elements for gaining competitive advantage, changing the approach and enjoyment methods of culture and art. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of participation of culture and art activities on the performance of the executives and staff members at M Financial Company. The study resulted in four different findings. First, creative activities have a positive effect on job commitment, but appreciation activities have no statistically significant effect on job commitment. Second, although appreciation activities have a positive effect on creative behavior, it has been confirmed that creative activities have no statistically significant effect on creative behavior. Third, job commitment has a significant effect on creative behavior. Fourth, the relationship between job commitment and job performance shows that job commitment affects job performance positively; creative behavior also positively affects job performance. Finally, we examined the mediating effect between participation in culture and art activities and job performance with job commitment and creative behavior. As a result, job commitment and creative behavior are found to mediate between creative activities and job performance. However, it did not mediate between appreciation activities and job performance. On the other hand, the mediating effect of creative behavior between job commitment and job performance was partially mediated.

The purpose of this paper is to show the role of aesthetic experience from appreciating the creative products in the creative economy. The paper has found that the universality of creativity is a very basic foundation of the creative economy and anyone can enhance his or her creativity from appreciating or consuming the creative products and apply such acquired creativity to the non-creative industries. From these findings we can derive two public policy implications. The first one is that the government should support people to pursue a diverse and unique experience, i.e. aesthetic experience with creative products. And the second one is that art education both inside and outside of the school curriculum should be emphasized.

This paper aims to describe the past character of art through Gadamer's interpretation of "End of the Art" thesis of Hegel. His interpretation also reveals that new art can demand a validity as a way of self-understanding that the art understands itself from its past. Hegel declared the end of art in his philosophical system. From Gadamer's perspective, it means that art has past character in the horizon of modern christianity-humanistic self-evidence (II). Then art understands itself as the past and demands its own validity. Gadamer sees that art cannot require common self-evidence which is clearly and universally understood by all in an age of "the end of self-evidence." And according to him, this requirement shows up in the phenomenon of anti-art in post-modernism(III). From his standpoint it is about time to demand new validity of art again and this requirement could be complied through hermeneutical self-understanding. Art exists as a self-understanding artwork in the cycle of understanding in which art understands itself as an understood past. As a play is played by players, artwork exists as participating spectators. This artwork does not demand a common understanding but exists through various understandings of spectators(IV).

미술 작품을 감상하러 꼭 미술관이나 박물관까지 갈 필요는 없다. 오늘 호텔에 갈 일이 있다면, 비즈니스 업무를 볼 일이 있다면, 혹은 병원에 갈 일이 있다면, 건물 안에 들어가 잠시 주위를 둘러보라. 거기 당신이 무심히 지나친 적이 있는, 감성을 깨워줄 예술 작품 하나가 있을지도 모른다.
